Class of 1984 Reunion Celebration
On Saturday, October 17, members of the Class of 1984 gathered together to celebrate their 25 year reunion in the Clocktower Lounge in the Fisher Student Center. The group was amazed by all of the changes at the university and had a great time looking out across the campus commons at new buildings while remembering their times together in the buildings that were there when they were students. George Spirakis, Class President in 1984, and attorney in Myrtle Beach, spoke to the group about his memories of UNCW and encouraged them all to stay involved with UNCW and the Alumni Association. Alumni traveled to the reunion from all around the Southeast and throughout the US. One of the class members traveled from California to celebrate the milestone with his class. UNCW student, Nikki Myers, played piano for the celebration with her peers from the group TEMPO: The Empowerment of Musicians through Peer Outreach.
